FIGURE 3

High-performance liquid chromatography elution profiles of betalain pigment extracts from petals of Parakeelya mirabilis. Extracts of violet (A) and red (B) petal sectors were separated by betacyanin elution gradient and monitored at 538 nm. Red (C) petal sectors were also separated by betaxanthin elution gradient and monitored at 470 nm. The calculated proportion of total betacyanins or betaxanthins in each petal sector is shown in (D). BcI, betanin; BcI’, iso-betanin; BcII, betanidin; BcII’, iso-betanidin; BxI, vulgaxanthin I; BxII, vulgaxanthin II; BxIII, dopaxanthin; BxIV, portulacaxanthin II. The peak IDs are identical to those in Table 1.
